“Ain’t No Trucks In Texas” is proving to be a radio hit for Ronnie Dunn and there’s plenty more where that came from. He was back in the studio as recent as last week, and says he’ll probably end up with about 10 songs for the new cd.
For nearly 15 years now, he’s proven himself to record and write some of country music’s most memorable songs, and says the best way to find them…is to NOT stop looking for them. Some of Brooks & Dunn’s biggest hits came in the final moments of recording…

Ronnie Dunn – Never-ending search for songs
“Looking for songs is a never ending process, so you can be in the studio cutting songs and someone will walk in and pitch you one on the spot. Craig did that. Wiseman did it with ‘Believe’ years ago. It happens a lot.”
More Ronnie Dunn Notes
“Believe” was a top 10 hit for Brooks & Dunn in 2006. Ronnie co-wrote it with Craig Wiseman (Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member.) The song also won CMA Single and Video of the Year.
Reba, Brooks & Dunn: Together in Vegas Residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace will resume in December. Dates include Dec. 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 11 and 12.
